Call hook/api on order status change

[WhyEs]

Hello,

 

Is there a hook (or some other kind of API) we can call whenever the status of an order changes (to 'shipped')? And can it be called from command line?

 

Thanks!

you can use actionOrderStatusUpdate hook to check new order status, and if  new status id is == id of "shipped" you can do somethnig

Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to call actionOrderStatusUpdate from the command line (php-cli)?

ohh you're talking about API, not hook.

in this case (hook that i attached) you have to create module which will use this hook.

it's my bad, probably

Thanks again for answering.

 

Maybe I should clarify myself: our warehouse sends a track & trace-link to our Prestashop installation which eventually sets the order status to 'shipped'. We would like Prestashop to detect this action and send an e-mail on completion. Is this possible?

 

(Since there is no interaction involved, writing a module doesn't seem to be right solution.)

Hi, did you solve this?

I'm using an ADODB connector to update the order status to shipped, but I want to send an email as well to the customer when the status is changed.

 

How can I do that?

 

Thanks.

Anyone found a solution?

Any luck. I'm also trying to trigger something after order status is changed in the database.

if you have an external application updating your database directly, then it is completely bypassing the prestashop application, and prestashop will not know the order status has changed.  therefore you will need to come up with a custom solution for this.  have you explored what a database trigger is in mysql database yet?
